Nigeria’s hope of seeing Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham play for the Super Eagles has been dashed as both players were included in Gareth Southgate’s 25-man squad ahead of European Championship qualifying fixtures against Czech Republic and Bulgaria this month. Nigerians were unhappy with the fact that both players have chosen to feature for the Three Lions, and they took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
Here are some of their comments below:
@Isaacson_zee: “Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori in the England squad for the upcoming European qualifiers bad news for Nigeria though. Wishing them all the best, up blues. @samywejinya said this before now“
